The AUD/USD pair jumps to near 0.6430 on Friday. The Aussie pair strengthens as the US Dollar (USD) corrects sharply, even as hopes of a de-escalation in the trade war between the United States (US) and China have improved.

The confidence of investors that trade tensions between the world's two largest powerhouses have increased after comments from the Chinese Commerce Ministry indicated that Beijing is open to trade talks but wants the US to show "sincerity".

Easing US-China trade tensions is favorable for the Australian Dollar (AUD), given that Australia is the leading trading partner of Beijing.

The US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback's value against six major currencies, falls sharply to near 99.75.

Meanwhile, investors await the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data for April, which will be published at 12:30 GMT. The US NFP is expected to show that the economy added 130K fresh workers, significantly lower than the March reading of 228K.

AUD/USD consolidates in a tight range of 0.6340-0.6450 for almost two weeks. The pair wobbles near the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) around 0.6407, indicating a sideways trend.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) oscillates around 60.00. A fresh bullish momentum would emerge if the RSI breaks above that level.

More upside would appear towards the round-level resistance of 0.6500 and the November 25 high of 0.6550 if the pair if the pair breaks above the December 5 high of 0.6456.

On the flip side, a downside move below the March 4 low of 0.6187 towards the February low of 0.6087, followed by the psychological support of 0.6000.
